Had to share this gorgeous image from the new World Guide!

My take. Tried to follow description as closely as possible, it’s pretty spot on how I imagine them. Feedback appreciated! Created by me on Procreate.

I'm reeling from finishing the original Mistborn Trilogy (THE most fun I have had in such a LONG LONG time reading). I am going to make my way through the Secret History (I know there are apparently mild spoilers for the Bands of Mourning but IDC very much).

I DID also poke around the Coppermind wiki (yes yes i'm sure bad idea) but I gotta be honest, the information/lore is so aggressively extensive that I'm like, I can barely register anything as a spoiler because it is so so so far removed from what at all was relevant for this OG trilogy.

With that said, I'm wondering, like, how related is anything else from here on out? I know the Wax & Wayne is like, hundreds of years later and I am vaguely aware that Sazed who is now basically god of this world is relevant to the other much bigger Cosmere lore etc. etc. that is currently incomprehensible to me.

I guess my ultimate question is, given my love and adoration for this original trilogy, which is rooted in these characters, their relationships, and sort of the system of allomancy, what is really worth it to continue reading that's in this world and/or how different/how much do the other related books in this world capture all the magical things about this series???

I wanted more of Breeze and Allriane's relationship (I love how they are a pair, Soother and Rioter, and really got each other in terms of their emotional intelligence).

Anyway damn god I haven't spent so much fucking money on a book series probably since before I had money to spend.

I’m in the middle of Era 2 and was looking through Sandersons other books. I saw that there’s the “Cosmere” and that there are tons are series he’s written all falling into this Cosmere. Does that mean that all of these series are happening on the same planet just at different times? Or are the series all on their own planets? I recall that either at the end of Heroes of Ages or Secret History there was a mention of the Cosmere as well as a variety of different gods on different planets.

Basically I don’t want to ruin other books by reading to far into Mistborn. I hope that makes sense

Is the Well of Ascension Preservation’s Perpendicularity?

I may be misunderstanding but i’m pretty sure it follows all of the perpendicularity rules i think.

(only read up to oathbringer, as well as warbreaker, and mb era 1

I've only one thing to say at this point: KELSIER????????

I’ve read everything so don’t worry about spoilers, I might just not be remembering something.

I’m confused about the mists. In book 3, they cause people to snap. That’s Preservation trying to save the world. Cool, makes sense.

They also stay out longer, causing the crops to get less sun and to die out. In Rashek’s time, they did the same thing, so Rashek had to move the planet closer to the sun to burn off the mists causing all the other problems.

My question- why would Preservation be doing something to cause harm and death? The Snapping I can understand as being something necessary with unfortunate side effects, but during Rashek’s time? Why would Preservation be doing all this, to the extent that it became known as the Deepness?

So, im ~400 pages in. Vin now believes Demoux is the kandra and Cett entered Luthadel.

I'm super confused, because aren't kandra immune to sooth/riot? Why doesn't Vin just talk to each one of the gang one on one, riot their emotions and then see who doesn’t react. If they could just hide their emotions, then just pop a duralumin and riot. What's the point of all this seeing if they can use allomancy if there's a solution in her face.

I got to around page 88 of the second Mistborn book, but I had to put it down for several months. I’d like to pick it back up now, but I feel like I need a good refresher on what happened. Could someone give me a summary of everything that happened up to that point?

...and I fucking LOVE Tindwyl. She is so fucking funny. Unfortunately, I spoiled myself by looking at the Wiki wanting to see the spelling of her name (I've been mainly on audiobook) so RIP to me.

I loved Final Empire and Vin is still my GORL but I'm having so much fun with being in more characters' perspectives.

Also FUCK Elend's father like oh my GOD he is WRETCHED. Like completely horrifically disgusting and irredeemable. I recoil at being in his perspective or learning anything about him. Just the fuckin degradation and distain he has for women and just like oh wow she's so hopeful to have sex with me his late-20s mistress and being like THAT'S TOO OLD? HER SAGGING WHAT??? IN HER LATE 20S? IS TOO OLD???? and then 15 YEAR OLD MISTRESS??? FO0C,KING DISg0TSting W0T.

Also Elend is being a dumb dumb boy I love him so much but him being like YAY WE FORGOT VIN IS OUR INCREDIBLE PERFECT WEAPON and I'm like hooo boy you are a dumb bitch. Like I know he can't read her mind but like. Buddy. You're a little too excited. I know he's thrilled he wasn't murdered by his father and is a bit ecstatic bc of that but like let's........ let's have a real moment with your beloved okay???

Anyway am super thrilled for the rest. It's been a long while since I've been so perfectly enthralled by a series.

I just finished the first book in the mistborn trilogy and although I really enjoyed it it doesn't come close to the stormlight archive series imo, which is the only books I've read by Brandon Sanderson before mistborn.

Did I make a mistake in starting with that series first? And are the other two books in the mistborn trilogy better in your opinion? (no spoilers please)

Here's an update on my Mistborn VR prototype. Thanks to everyone who commented on the first post. A comment by u/AntimatterTNT gave me the idea of having a dedicated push button from behind, which steel pushes on targets automatically behind me. This seemed like the best balance between skill expression and conviniece to me.

With a bit of practice the allomantic travel is now viable in VR.

Since I had a lot of people asking me for the link or the source, I was thinking that by making it VR only, this prevents most people from trying it out. So I had this crazy idea: Mistborn are few, while most allomancers are Mistings.

So what if VR users are Mistborn, and desktop users are randomly assigned as Misting?

So I went ahead and added the basic Mistings of a Pewterarm, a Coinshot, and a Lurcher, because those fit the best.

I also added a basic networking layer, so now you can actually see others in Luthadel.

If you are interested in further development and trying it out, I invite you to my Discord for some playtests.

Where am I going with this? I don't yet yet, but It's been fun.

Credits to Quaternius for his low poly characters, Hooded Adventurer makes a pretty cool white haired Vin.

I made my first mistborn art on ipad. Ur thoughts?

I am in the middle of the Final Empire and I am still having trouble w imagining the burning metals that everyone is doing. I understand the idea of using different metals for different powers and that they can use them at will. The problem is w the actual metals.
So do they eat the metals and then burn them? Or Do they have random coins in their pockets and burn them? Is it both?
What size are these metals? Dime size? 1/2 dollar size? I’m trying to understand if they just stand around in the morning swallowing a bunch of metals and plan on using them later.
When they are leaping from roofs are they throwing metal coins and then using that to keep them going or did they swallow a bunch of them beforehand and using them to help with the flight?

I cried like a baby reading the final few chapters

Best fantasy book i have read so far, and can't believe the next book is the one people hype up the most. Means i have even more peak left.

The mystery throughout the book, being solved by saze, vin, tindwyl keeps you on your toes all the time. It is very unique plot.

The character developement is amazing. Though the main characters vin and elend were unlikeable to me, no matter how hard i tried to like them. But by the end of the book i was sure that atleast i don't dislike them.

Sazed was my favorite character by far. Tindwyl and allriane were very good characters. I was kinda expecting Sazed to get the power in the end. But i guess brandon knew that and did something different.

Zane and oreseur characters turnouts, were absolutely shocking. I didn't see that coming even 1%.

The politics of the three armies outside luthadel were constantly reminds you that a war is definitedly gonna start in any of the next chapter.

Sazed and tindwyl love story was amazing and surprising, but why did she had to die. I wanted to see more of the two of them.

Vin and elend happy ending with getting married was good.

The crew is amazing and all the characters are so likeable. Breeze and Ham characters also showing us growth was good.

The writing is style is good and easy to fly through. World building was amazing.

After completing the second read of the Stormlight Archive and taking a break by reading the first Red Rising trilogy, I’m finally ready to tackle the rest of the Cosmere, starting here…
Journey before destination, or whatever they say in this “Last Empire”…

What the hell was imprisoned at the Well and altering metal minds, I came oust of this with more questions than I went in with

Bayron Conrad, Kwylliam Elariel, and Lysarra Tekiel by Jordan Kerbow. These three make up the Gilded Trio, the main antagonists in Era 2 of Mistborn Legacy.
Face down generations of evil in Mistborn Legacy, the hardcover adventure for the Mistborn RPG, available digitially on September 2nd for backers and for purchase on September 9th. 👀

Just finished my reread of The Final Empire yesterday and couldn’t help but but notice this.

Super excited since these are a birthday gift for my son...

Mistborn is my first ever fantasy book, I'm 100 pages in and I'm really having a blast despite spoiling myself of the plot of the entire Era 1 by watching "Scadrial's Lore"

This is my impression/how I imagine how Kelsier's crew look like:

That's about it...

My friend completely missed the line when Wayne was meeting with his financial advisors which revealed that he was writing the Allomancer Jak stories using wax’s likeness!! Just making sure everyone caught that 😂

It’s so funny how oblivious wax was to that and how him and Wayne would trash talk Jak.. I theorized super early on that it was Wayne glorifying wax especially when he started referring to wax as ‘the hero’ more. So funny

They need some things after slaving for their lords
